24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Lee's Summit, MO
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Remediation
Growth and the material it grew into come out under containment, what remains is cleaned, and the assembly is dried and read before anything closes it in.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a failure in there go unnoticed?
Longer than anywhere else in the house. The room is closed, it is behind a door nobody opens between service visits, and it has no ventilation, so a slow failure fills the space with humidity and then starts on the surrounding walls. It is usually found when water crosses the doorway.
Does the closed door help or hurt?
It contains the water and traps the moisture, which is a poor trade. Keeping a loss in one small room sounds useful, but an unventilated space with a wet floor drives humidity into the framing around it and into the finished rooms beyond through the wall rather than under the door.
What is checked in the rooms next to it?
The shared walls, from the finished side, along their whole length. Moisture moves through that wall before water does, so a finished room can be affected without anything having crossed the floor. Readings are taken on both faces of the partition rather than only in the room where the failure happened.
